Nude celebrity news

I picked up this issue of Playboy...not having read it in about 10 years and OH MY GOD. Now, I'm a Photoshop professional, I've been retouching photos with it since Photoshop 1.0. I know for a fact that Playboy legendary "airbushing" of photos was simply Photoshop (before that, proprietary Scitex pre-press workstations), but I don't know who they got retouching for them now because I swear to god, it's just crap. You look at the skin on some of these photos and it may as well have been painted from scratch. It's hideous. Playboy used to take pride in their photos and if you compare their shots from the 70's...when there was very limited technology to retouch something...to today and it's like night-and-day. I just can't look at them, it's distracting.

I agree with you Goofball_Jones. And it's not just Playboy, it's every fucking magazine. The worst air-brushing job I have ever seen was Belinda Calisle in Playboy a few years back. Man, what bad paintings they were. And her rationale for doing the 'shoot was to prove that middle-aged women can still look great nude. Well, I don't disagree with that at all, but apparantley she's not one of them. At least according to Hugh Hefner.

PS- Is Cindy's face and body capable of having more plastic surgery without collapsing, ala Michael Jackson?
